As a professional weaver, I'm in a constant state of changing what's on the loom: planning a project, dyeing yarn for the project, warping the loom with that new yarn, weaving, finishing, and so on. Blogging is a way for me to share the process, and a way for me to keep track of what I did when.

Antelope Canyon

While waiting for some new scarves to go through a wash/dry cycle so I could press them, tag them, and have them ready to bring to CNCH, I managed to weave a few more inches of the Antelope Canyon image. The curves of the eroded rock that forms the walls of the canyon are beginning to take shape.

I was concerned that there might not be enough hue difference between the two reds, but now that I've woven more of the image, I think they're just enough different that the shapes can be read in the cloth. Gotta love scarlet and fuchsia together, they're just electric! And the gold really pops next to them.

About Me

I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.
